It's a very good composition. There's a tall soldier, hard-faced defender of the nation. A smaller man near him, showing how tall he really is. A woman looking at him, admiringly perhaps. And behind him, one of the 3 "bogatyr", Russian knights of legend. The second picture really struck me.

It may never have been my home, but I do look at these photos and see a time of security, equality, and happiness (especially: top row, third from the left). This is one of the most original ideas for a blog that I've seen in quite some time. Please keep up the good work. What an excellent set of images, not to mention a very touching last paragraph.
